Directed by Hamish Macdougall, Designed by Jemima Carter-Lewis

"People ask what you do and you say: I'm a sub. Funny word: like being a substitute. You're sitting on the subs' bench and just hoping one day they'll give you a game."

In the sub-editing office of a stylish men's magazine the team work on their monotonous duties of correcting spelling and creating headlines. Chief Sub-Editor Derek is pinning his hopes on a promotion to escape the office.

His deputy Finch is stuck in a despondent rut and spends his time browsing internet porn. Then the unthinkable happens, a confident young woman joins the office... it's time for some changes round here.

Director HAMISH MACDOUGALL is the Literary Associate at The c*ckTavern Theatre. Directing credits include: Nightsongs (Cock Tavern); Urban Chic Saved My Life (Cockpit Theatre); 4.48 Psychosis; The Cell (both Arts Ed) and Dancing with Darwin (RIBA centre). As Assistant Director: Shrunk (Cock Tavern); Guy Fawkes Night (Twenty Four Hour Plays/ Old Vic) and Tits/Teeth (Soho Theatre). He is a founding member of theatre company The Rogues Gallery and co-produces their monthly new writing night Rogue Writers at the Canal Café Theatre.
